Having heard of difficulties in the past; has anyone current experience with the buying, installing and support process of the Plasma III six cylinder system from Lightspeed engineering?

I have it on my IO-540-N1A5 built by Aerosport with 185 hours and have had no issues. I'm still impressed with the 20 rpm drop during the "mag" check. Even though my spark plugs looked close to new at 150 hours I swapped them for newer ones.

Great product.... Can't say the same for their customer interface. If you call, make sure you memorized the manual first, which I did. Then he will continue to blame you for everything, just like he did for me when he drilled the magnet holes in the wrong place. It was my fault because I didn't tell him where the holes were supposed to be?!?!? Really!?!?!

Learned at my IA renewal seminar last week that Electroair has 6 cylinder units shipping right now, direct from them or through Spruce. EIS-2 kit. Replaces either mag. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/electroair.php
So at least there is another competitor. Electroair has their 4 cyl version certified for use on most Lycoming 4 cyl engines in certified aircraft with STC.

When was your last dealing with LSE? With Klaus? The reason I ask is that another shop here in Mesa AZ seems to think that they have greatly improved their customer relations???

I have worked directly with Klaus over the past few months to resolve an issue and order some parts. Very helpful and no problems at all.

Yes, he does want you to read the manual.... I had an issue and he was wonderful.... on a Sunday, answered the phone, went through a detailed trouble shooting process, identified the problem, I fixed it, and that was 360 hours ago.... dual plasma III's. Just got back from SoCal today, 193kts on 9.8 gph, 2,200rpm, 19"mp, 11,500'.... and, of course, a tail wind!

I really like the product, no doubt. I RTFM a hundred times, could not resolve my issue. I took the constant speed prop on and off way too many times, not a quick task. Come to find out he drilled the magnets in the wrong location on my flywheel so my timing was off. Somehow it was my problem because I didn't tell him where they needed to be?!?! If there was some uncertainty, I would think the expert should know this and at least ask.... I am not an unreasonable person and I'm pretty easy going.... But his demeanor was unacceptable. My thoughts, it'll catch up to him..,..

Also better performance, due to a hotter spark and variable timing.

Lightspeed has been around for quite some time so there is plenty of people that can speak to the reliability of that system.

Three hard failures in 350 hours, dual Plasma II+ install in my 8A. I now have 300+ hours on dual pMags and they have been flawless.
First engine start on the RV-10 is 2-3 weeks away and Brad at eMag has not yet delivered my ignitions for the IO-540. I guess I'll put up with the mags for the first few hours.

So what is the advantage of these products? Are they really worth the extra dollars?

There are many of us that have been talking to eMag for years and they keep saying that they are almost there. On the 6-cyl version, I guess they decided to go the certification route from the get-go, instead of making it available to the experimental market. From the looks of it, the P-mag is going to be a great product. Again, the reliability will take time to know, but the concept is great and the backup power coming from the engine is a great idea. Timing them is also very easy. Can't wait to hear how they work.

First engine start on the RV-10 is 2-3 weeks away and Brad at eMag has not yet delivered my ignitions for the IO-540. I guess I'll put up with the mags for the first few hours.

"Replacing one magneto with the EIS-41000 will typically improve fuel
economy on average by 10-15% (many operators have reported consistent
fuel savings of 1gph or greater)."

By that measure, they should pay for themselves in 200 to 300 hours or
so which isn't bad at all. After so many promises over the past several
years, it is great to see something actually making it to market!

That is what I said. 300+ hours later. But I love my P-Mag on the 8A.
Still waiting…
